Upside Down Elevations

vfrontiers — Tue, 23 May 2023 01:11:13 GMT

Ok, now I've seen it all... Just created individual elevations to create a GRAPHIC WINDOW SCHEDULE (just because)... Placed 15 of them on a sheet and they all come out UPSIDE DOWN?

I can rotate them, but it messes up the TITLE TYPE that fills in the bottom of the box (and quite frankly, this is just wrong)...

There is no ORIENTATION (rotated user coordinate system) in Elevation... They show as if they are placed at 0 deg.

Anyone?

note that rotating the drawing to it's correct position puts all the text upside down... ugh..

I have seen this bug when in the floor plan you have a rotated grid (not in elevation) and then you create the save view from the Elevation.

Solution is to reset the Grid and update the "Zoom Setting" in the View Map.

Today I managed to get an elevation to appear backwards right to left
(mirror). I managed to fix it by deleting the view and elevation marker and then placing the elevation marker again and creating a new elevation view.

It is operator error I could not reproduce but the point is it should not be possible.

Eduardo....

Spot ON... I am able to FIX them...

But... I am using a CLONE for these elevation and no matter how I reset the view options... every NEW elevation that gets added... comes in first as upside down and I have to MANUALLY correct each one.

Bugger as there will be well over 150 windows and doors to "elevate"

Duane,
If you have a cloned view set up then don't change the properties of each view as you create the elevations.
Try changing the properties of the folder the views are in.
Once set all new views should take on those proerties..

I will investigate to see if this bug is in our database and if not I will enter it.

Best regards,

@Barry.... Your suggestion did not work for me.... Changing the CLONE attributes not only did not change the existing views to correct... but NEW elevations are still coming in upside down.

I have to manually open each elevation (source view)... then EDIT VIEW SETTINGs and choose FIT IN WINDOW..

Keep in mind that opening source view ALWAYS showed the elevation in correct orientation... only the display on the LAYOUT was incorrect.

Oddly enough, I do NOT have to adjust the coordinate system for my method above to work... Even if it is left in the ROTATED state in plan, the FIT TO WINDOW will correct the view in the layout.

And I HAVE to OPEN up each elevation... If I just choose them in the VIEW MAP and say FIT TO WINDOW... it does NOT correct it....

Had the same problem and managed to solve it by deleting and recreating the clone folder.

I hope it helps

Hello All,

Just wanted to report this error occurs in Archicad 25 ( Date 12.21.21 ) . I'm still working on the solution, but for now here is the issue. When I 'Place' images into my Layouts they are upside-down. Rotating works, but also rotates the Title of the image (which I need). There is no way of correcting the Title to work as needed. To clarify the upside-down is a 180 degree rotation of the image, although reads 0 (zero). The same is occurring with new Window and Door Schedules, as I attempt to place on a Layout Sheet. Reference screen shots below :

Hello,

Thank you very much for the report and I am very sorry for the experience!

So far, we haven't received any similar report yet. I'm wondering whether this happens on a file migrated to Archicad 25, or a brand new project made with AC25? Furthermore, would it be possible for you to share the file with us for in-house testing? Please let me know if you need a secure place to upload the file!

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Best regards,

Minh
